It is that time of year again! Who is ready for 10 hours of racing around Road Atlanta with some of the best race car drivers in the world. Join the Peachtree BMW CCA for the 2012 Petit LeMans! Spaces are very limited in the car corral...so sign up early...sign up often!

The Petit Le Mans (French for little Le Mans) is a sports car endurance race held annually at Road Atlanta in Braselton, Georgia, USA. It uses the rules established for the 24 hours of Le Mans by the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO), which are slightly modified if necessary, mainly to allow additional cars to compete.

The race was founded by Road Atlanta owner Don Panoz and first run on October 10, 1998 as part of the IMSA season. The 1999 edition was one of the original events of the American Le Mans Series. This year will mark the 2nd Annual Intercontinental Le Mans Cup, which
connects the races in North America, Europe and Asia.

The Petit Le Mans covers a maximum of 1,000 miles (1,600 km) (which is approximately 394 laps) or a maximum of 10 hours, whichever comes first; only once, in the rain-stopped 2009 race, has the leading team failed to complete 1,000 miles (1,600 km). In addition to the overall race, teams of two or three drivers per car compete for class victories in four different classes of cars, two for Le Mans prototypes and two for grand tourer cars. Class winners of this event receive an automatic invitation to the following year's 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Butler Tire is joining the BMW Peachtree Chapter Corral as a sponsor. They will be providing the Butler Tire Golf Cart again to help transport you around to various parts of the track during the race!

As a part of their participating in the corral, they are inviting the participants to the E3Storage Turn 9 Experience. Here you can enjoy the elevated view of the race from on top of "Das Boose" at Turn 9. This vantage gives you a clear view of the track from Turn 7 all the way to the bridge before the cars dive down into turn 12. It is truly a sight to see.
